Rainy Days Baby R | Leesburg VA Newborn Photographer

I was thrilled to be able to do this session for Meg, the mastermind behind Ciste Gras Cakes (who creates the cakes I offer for my cake smashes!) So imagine our disappointment when we had to reschedule, TWICE, due to rain. And then, when it finally looks like everything will go perfectly, she and her super cute little family arrive at our location and literally, the skies open up. Are you kidding me?? Well, we were already there, and Baby R isn't getting any younger, so we decided to grab umbrellas and go for it. We lasted about half an hour before the thunder and lightning started so we decided that I would come out to their new home and get some lifestyle shots of him in his perfectly Disney room to finish their session.

Baby R was just as perfect in real life as he looks in these images - he slept so soundly through intermittent rain and then my two girls poking at him. I could seriously have spent all day with him! I was also really excited to get to play with the Canon 16-35, which my husband rented for me as a surprise for our Mother's Day weekend away. I was able to get some fun shots of him in his room that I definitely would've missed otherwise. Might have to add that to my camera bag!
